I think this is objective fact thonk-trans

I dunno I've had plenty of folks (usually who identify as gay or lesbian) say they aren't queer, they're gay or lesbian. I think it's just that crowd of old guard exclusionary gays usually.

thonk-trans To be more charitable there are also lgbt people of older generations who may've had "queer" used as a slur against them, which is important to consider imo.

But I generally tend to view "queer" as an umbrella for all legbutt stuff, so vivian-shrug

For sure. When an older gay tells me they aren't queer I'm not a dick about it, I'm happy to accept any label they want. I just think that normalizing a broader umbrella usage of queer is important long term.
